TRUMP MEETS VLAD FOR 2 1/2 HOURS: NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED

The Russians were first out of the gate saying Putin denied interfering in our elections,the two agreed to a joint cybersecurity task force,the US agreed to a Russian proposal for a ceasefire in Southern Syria. The United States claimed thatTrump didn't want to delitigate old issues and just wanted to move on. Trump himself said he let Putin have it and he won't do it again. The former spooks all said Trump set the stage for 2018 election interference by his failure to follow-up on the theme. CNN reports that the Trump State Department just gave 155 visas to Russian spies. What should concern Americans that Trump went spacey at the G-20 again and Teresa May had to get Trump to focus. Yesterday Trump wandered off away from the bullet proof glass as security forces started to freak before Trump remembered where he was.The United States is isolated on the issue of climate and trade at the G-20. Merkel told Trump there would be a trade war if he raised tariffs on steel. While Hamburg burns,the G-20 is ending with more tension than past meetings.Doesn't Melania Trump look like Caitlyn Jenner?
